DON'T LET THE PUBLIC OPTION DIE - TAKE ACTION NOW!

Dear reader:The Senate Finance Committee, led by Senator Max Baucus, passed a healthcare reform bill without provisions for a public health insurance option.

This opens the door to procedural shenanigans that could prevent thepublic option from ever being considered on the floor of the Senate, whichwould make it much harder for the public option to be included in thefinal bill that lands on the president's desk.

We can't sit back and let the public option die. So I have told SenateMajority Leader Harry Reid to make sure a public option is included in thehealth care reform bill that goes to the floor of the Senate.

"The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished."

So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished and, before the morning was over, I finished off a bottle of Pinot Noir, a package of Oreo Cookies, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of chocolates.

Thoughts to Ponder

* Men have 2 emotions: hungry, horny. If you see a gleam in his eye . . make him a sandwich.

* Give a person a fish, you feed them for a day. teach a person to use the internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe even years.

* Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.

* Take a lesson from the weather; it pays no attention to criticism.

* In the '60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take prozac to make it normal.

* Life is like a jar of jalepeno peppers: what you do today may burn your ass tomorrow.

And finally . . .

* Don't worry about old age; it doesn't last that long.

Heckler Smack-down:

I was working a club in Mount Prospect, Illinois, and had just finished singing "The Vasectomy Song". As the applause subsided, a black man seated right in front of the stage said: "Hey, man . . . do you want to see my scars?"

"Well," I replied, "we wouldn't want to spoil the Black Myth, now would we?"
